Two new fields were added to the Status Summary Export – “Date Submitted” to the sIRB and “Date Reviewed” by the sIRB. The Export already includes “Date Approved” by the sIRB. These additional fields can be used by Study Managers as a flag/reminder that a site has been submitted for review to the sIRB. The sIRB or SM can enter dates of sIRB submission and review in the “site approvals” dialogue.

New Feature: Capture Site-specific Comments
Reviewing IRB Liaisons and Study Managers can now include site-specific comments on the Status Summary tab in IREx. Comments are only visible to the Reviewing IRB Liaisons and Study Managers on a study. No notifications are generated by these comments. Any information that helps keep track of site’s progress can be logged, such as:
- the last time you contacted a site
- when you sent reliance instructions
- unique workflow challenges or alternatives for a site
- status updates from a PI or a site’s HRPP
- reason a site’s local review might be delayed
New Feature: Download a Report of Your Status Summary Tab
IREx Study Managers and Reviewing IRB Liaisons can download a CSV export of the Status Summary Tab for each study. On the Status Summary Tab, click Export Data > Export Status Summary Tab to download the data displayed on the Status Summary Tab.
New Feature: Manually Notify HRRPs and Investigators About Your Study in IREx
IREx now allows Reviewing IRB Liaisons and IREx Study Managers to manually notify sites about their study in IREx instead of automatically emailing sites as soon as they are added to a study. Now sites can be notified at different times if they are being onboarded at different times.
When an IREx Study Managers lists a site on a study, they will enter a PI name and email. The site will appear on the Status Summary Tab. Click the “Notify HRPP” button to notify the site HRPP (and the PI identified) of the study in IREx. This does not give the PI access to IREx. The purpose of this email is to connect the investigator to their local HRPP.
Update: Status Summary Now Includes Dates of HRPP Activity
To better inform the Reviewing IRB and Coordinating Center / Lead Study Team, the Status Summary Tab now tracks when Participating Site HRPPs 1) are “contacted” about a study in IREx, 2) “start” the reliance process by accessing the study in IREx and, 3) “complete” their cede decision in IREx.
New Feature: Status Summary Tab
The Status Summary Tab provides an overview of status of all Participating Sites listed on a study. Use this tab to track each site’s progress towards sIRB review as they sign on to the required agreements to begin reliance and indicate reliance on the Reviewing IRB. This tab is available to the Reviewing IRB Liaisons and Lead Study Team Members.
